Fundraising

Harlington Hospice has to raise £1 million a year from charitable activities. We receive less than 20% Government Funding. The money comes through all sorts of fundraising activities designed to appeal to people of different interests and all ages. Everyone can find something to get involved with and do their bit towards raising money.


Some of the things we do:

Events and Sponsorship - People from across the local community organise their own fundraising events. Many individuals, schools, businesses, societies and clubs all support the hospice by organising their own events or supporting those arranged by the hospice.

Lottery - Harlington Hospice has its own weekly Weather Lottery. It's an exciting way to support the hospice and also have the chance of winning £1,000!

Donations - Because our services are offered free of charge many families continue to support the Martlets over many years, People are encouraged to make regular donations taking advantage of the Gift Aid Scheme to increase the value of their gift.

In Memoriam Donations - Throughout the course of a year, many families choose to remember a loved one by asking for donations to be sent to the Hospice in lieu of funeral flowers. This they do even if they have had no previous connection with the hospice.

Legacies - Many people choose to support our work by making a gift to the hospice when drawing up or changing their Will.

Charitable Trusts and Foundations - We actively seek the financial support of Charitable Trusts for operational costs, specific projects, equipment and capital developments. 

Shops - We have five shops, these are mainly staffed by volunteers, who raise much-needed funds by selling goods kindly donated by the public.

Gifts in Kind - People don't always need to give money. Some people donate other items we can use like office furniture or printing services. Others generously give their time as volunteers. The hospice is often asked whether it needs equipment and other items and we produce a wish list for this purpose.
